Otimo, bom pra saber.. vou guarda fora da luz sim, e fora do calor

Good to know, thanks!

Amigos, aqueles garrafas de plastica que tem em todos supermercados que vende agua em 2L, 5L, 10L.. aquele garrafas serve pra ser usada como fermentador? Tou pensando em usar algumas de 5L pra fazer umas testes em quantidades pequenas, tipo 4L de wort no Fermentador.

I think what the thread starter is talking about is an Irish Cream Ale, which are very creamy and a darker amber colour.

One last question about malts.. say i wanted to make a kolsch or a saison, even some kind of easy drinking summer ale, have a nice aroma and taste of honey, nothing too sweet, just a nice flavor (ive had some hones ales or some summer ales before that had a nice honey smell and flavour), whats...

Couple of quick questions, why are these style beers called Cream Ales? Whats creamy about it? I know with Irish cream ales that the introduction of nitrogen give them a really creamy look and mouthfeel, but these American cream ales, there's nothing creamy (like lactose or something) in the...

Gil, I am keen to try this recipe of yours, can you please give me a description of the beer? Flavor profile when you drank it? Aroma? Head? Dont suppose you have a photo of a glass of it? In my mind when i hear "Cream Ale" i imagine something like a Caffreys or Kilkenny, which i love so am...

Thanks for the replies guys.. worth a try to see if possible but all god.. ill use the same ones where possible and where not then all good, i want to try some different styles so probably best anyways to try different ingredients to get to know them!

Hi guys, i am planning on, for my first brew, to do more like 4 small batches over a couple of days. My idea is to do a Stout (something like Guinness), a Wheat (Something like Hoegaarden), an Amber (Something like Drop Top) and a Kolsch or a Saison, havent decided o n that yet.. My...

Muito Obrigado! Vou ver os igredientes pq tava querendo fazer um "Blanche".. Valeu! Opa, e seu Weiss.. Como que e? Bom sabor?

No worries at all! I appreciate all the info for sure!

Ah yeah probably should have explained that bit better.. i plan on having a thermometer installed on the pot so will not need to be opening at all to check the temp.. Where i live is much hotter that SoCal so i should be all good.. Guess ill only know for sure after my first brew!

Thanks guys, so i guess, as ill be using a pot, if i just keep checking the temp. with a thermometer every 5-10 minutes or so then do what is necessary to get the temp. back up, then i'll be all good :)

Thanks again for the helpful info!! Im going to try starting with a simplish system, that i can also do a few larger batches soon if i want. Looks like Gas must be expesive for you guys up in the US! Here i pat (at home) approx $20 per 13kg bottle of gas and it lasts around 3-4 months...

Thanks again! Yes i have been looking into the whole RIMS and HERMS setups, i am wondering what is best to make the brew easier and cheapest for larger volumes.. Electricity or Gas.. A question about the cooler MT, when you say it maintains the temperature better, and can set it and forget...
